EFCC Nabs ‘Pastor’ for N27.9m Fraud

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC, on Wednesday, January 16, 2019, arrested Anu Ojo Olakonori, a self-acclaimed Pastor and founder of Angel on Guard Ministries for a N27.9 million fraud.

Olakonori was arrested following a petition by the victim. The complainant alleged that sometime in 2016, she was introduced to the suspect by a pastor of hers in Bauchi for prayers and cleansing because of the difficulties she was going through at the time. The suspect under this guise started requesting for money from her and she made transfers to him in different tranches amounting to N27, 900,600 (Twenty Seven Million, Nine Hundred Thousand, Six Hundred Naira) only.

Investigation has also revealed that the suspect used the said sum to purchase various properties – house and cars, for himself.
